Tuesday morning it was time to leave Rhode Island and head back into NY for the end of our trip. We routed ourselves through New Haven, CT, figuring it would be a good stopping point to stretch our legs,...
Friday was our last day in Maine and the forecast was a little dicey, with clouds and a chance of rain most of the day. It started out okay, though, so we went to the Asticou Azalea Garden (on...
